What two would you prefer to visit?
It’s my first time to Europe and I need to pick two cities from the above. I’m doing my research and trying to pick two cities with plenty of contemporary culture to see. I’m not that into old ruins and castles.
I’m in my late twenties.

Venice
Athens
Istanbul and Dublin is what I picked, but I don’t know a
g o d d a m n thing about Europe, so, listen to someone else.
Venice and Budapest
definitely venice and athens ive been to budapest, and barcelona but never dublin or istanbul
athens is gorgeous and venice is amazing budapest is really pretty so that would be my third choice
go budapest and barcelona
def dont do athens if you are not into ruins and castles. you may wanna think of adding prague to your list if you want fun contempo stuff
Dublin
Barcelona
Istanbul
Barcelona
or Athens
Most History
I’d take Barcelona and Istanbul.
Barcelona is beautiful, great nightlife, and has wonderful cultural heritage in the city.
Istanbul is a nice contrast to see western and eastern cultures combine.
BY the way, Athens is a dirty pit of a city, and Dublin is only for drinking. Avoid at all costs.
Venice for its renaissance arts and architecture
and Athens, for its ancient ruins and temples and ****.
Venice and Istanbul. I’ve been to all of the above. Venice and Istanbul is top two of the choices.
Athens and Barcelona! Greeks and Spaniards are very ****!
None of the above. I suggest if you really want to get to know Europe, go check out some of the smaller cities and towns around. There you will get to chat will locals and eat authentic food. The small towns are the best way to go when you travel.
IMHO
Barcelona!! great people, great place!
Stockholm!! great people, great place!
I have visit Europe many many times,actually I have a house there so every time I go there for summer vacations or something,I have my own house!
But it has been a while since I’ve visited Germany,my homecountry,so I’d like to go visit it and enjoy!!!
And as for your reseach,I’d go to STOCKHOLM!!!YEAH
Venice Budapest…
Congratulations for your travel and good luck !!!
Friend of mine had a blast in Budepest. I’ve heard Barcelona is a great city as well.
Nothing wrong with the other cities you mentioned, but you specified a city that is contemporary and not hung up on the past.
Barcelona and Dublin would get my vote.
Venice is a very expensive, crumbling tourist trap, beautiful though, lots of old stuff.
Athens is cheaper but again lots of old stuff and not a brilliant night life.
Stockholm is very, very expensive and that’s all I know.
Istanbul is cheaper and has excellent food and markets.
Venice…eh, overpriced, smelly, too many con-artists trying to sell you cheap things at rip off prices, food’s very bad unless you thoroughly research it; lodging guaranteed to be a rip off unless you are a college girl who doesn’t mind flirting with the male concierge. Definitely not contemporary.
Barcelona..is OK if you’re in college and you like to get drunk all the time. It is very run down looking.
Dublin: is great but very expensive. Nearly as expensive as London.
Athens: too many people in that city do not wear deodorant. If you like gamey smelling people, you’d love Athens.
Stockholm: extremely expensive, the tourist pass is great way to save money on this city’s overpriced transportation. There are so many beautiful women in Stockholm that, a fat woman is considered hot because she looks uniquely different.
Istanbul: People are too clingy and the city is too dirty.
Budapest: Too many situations where the government traps tourists into having them ripped off because of fines.
If it’s your first time to Europe, coming from a guy that’s been here many times, I suggest that you chose between:
Paris-Very contemporary with embedded history nonchalantly everywhere.
London-Extremely contemporary.
Tallinn-Growing at an alarming rate.
Berlin-Because of WW2 bombings of 90% of the City and because of the wall coming down (ugly communist architecture taken down and replaced), the modernity of Berlin is spectacular from an Architectural Standpoint. Potsdahmerplatz’s Imax Center is a study in modern architecture.
Frankfurt is pretty modern too.
Athens
Istanbul
